I Walked Away Carrying His Heir (Part 2)
publish date:
2026-07-21 04:32:58Kael lowered his gaze for a brief moment before looking back at me.
“I didn’t intend to humiliate you.”
I almost smiled.
Not because his words comforted me.
Because they sounded absurd.
“You rejected me before the entire pack.”
I folded my arms across my chest, trying to stop my hands from shaking.
“You announced the end of our marriage during the most sacred ceremony of the year.”
My voice remained steady, but every word scraped against the raw wound inside me.
“You stood beside another woman while doing it.”
I took a slow breath.
“And now you’re telling me humiliation wasn’t your intention?”
Kael’s lips pressed into a thin line.
“I chose the ceremony because the elders were present. It was the proper place to make the rejection official.”
I stared at him in disbelief.
Proper?
Was that all he could think about?
Tradition.
Protocol.
Duty.
Never once had he mentioned my feelings.
Never once had he asked if I was all right.
He looked past me and noticed the nearly empty wardrobe.
“You packed very little.”
“I only took what belongs to me.”
“This house belongs to you.”
“It stopped belonging to me the moment you rejected me.”
Silence settled between us again.
The air felt unbearably heavy.
Finally, he spoke.
“I’ll have Rowan prepare a house for you in the eastern territory.”
“I’ve already made arrangements for your monthly allowance.”
“There will be servants to—”
“I don’t want any of it.”
His brows knitted together.
“Evelyn.”
“I said no.”
“You need somewhere to live.”
“I’ll find somewhere.”
“You have no family.”
His words landed harder than he intended.
Because they were true.
My parents were gone.
The Blackwood Pack had become my only home.
And now…
Even that had been taken from me.
Kael let out a quiet breath.
“I’m trying to make this easier.”
“No.”
I shook my head.
“You’re trying to make yourself feel less guilty.”
His expression darkened.
“I don’t feel guilty.”
The answer came too quickly.
Too firmly.
As though he needed to convince himself.
I gave a small nod.
“Then we’re done talking.”
I reached for my suitcase.
Before I could move past him, another voice echoed down the hallway.
“Kael?”
Selene.
She stood at the end of the corridor wearing a white shawl draped over her shoulders.
She looked surprised to see me with my luggage.
“Evelyn…”
Her voice softened.
“You’re leaving tonight?”
“Yes.”
“You shouldn’t travel alone.”
She hurried toward us.
“I know you probably hate me right now, but please believe me.”
“I never wanted this.”
I met her eyes.
For the first time.
Really met them.
They were beautiful.
Gentle.
Filled with tears.
Yet something about them felt…
Cold.
Calculated.
“I never blamed you.”
Her expression flickered.
“I blamed the man who made promises he couldn’t keep.”
Kael’s jaw tightened.
“That’s enough.”
“No.”
I looked directly at him.
“You wanted honesty.”
“So here it is.”
“I spent three years wondering why I wasn’t enough.”
“I blamed myself every single day.”
“I changed the way I dressed.”
“I learned your favorite meals.”
“I attended every council meeting.”
“I stood beside you through every war, every negotiation, every crisis.”
“I loved you with everything I had.”
A lump rose in my throat.
“And it still wasn’t enough.”
Neither of them spoke.
I wiped away the single tear that escaped before it could fall any farther.
“But today…”
“I finally understand.”
“It was never about me.”
“You had already chosen someone else.”
I picked up my suitcase.
“This time…”
“I choose myself.”
Without waiting for another reply, I walked past them.
No one stopped me.
Not Kael.
Not Selene.
Not anyone.
The guards standing outside the manor lowered their heads as I passed.
Some looked ashamed.
Others simply looked away.
News of the rejection had spread through the pack faster than wildfire.
By morning, everyone would know.
The rejected Luna had left.
The massive gates of Blackwood Pack stood open beneath the pale moonlight.
Two guards stepped forward.
“Luna…”
One quickly corrected himself.
“Miss Ashford.”
“I’ve been ordered to escort you.”
“I appreciate it,” I replied.
“But I’ll travel alone.”
“The Alpha specifically instructed—”
“I said I’ll travel alone.”
Something in my voice must have convinced them.
After a brief hesitation, they stepped aside.
I crossed the pack boundary without looking back.
The invisible bond connecting every wolf to their territory sent a strange ache through my chest.
For three years, these woods had been my home.
Now they were nothing more than memories.
The night air grew colder as I followed the narrow forest trail.
The sounds of the festival slowly disappeared behind me.
Crickets chirped.
Leaves rustled gently in the breeze.
For the first time all day…
Silence surrounded me.
I should have felt lonely.
Instead…
I felt free.
The pain was still there.
It probably would be for a long time.
But at least I was walking away.
I rested my hand against my stomach.
“It’ll be okay.”
My voice was barely a whisper.
“I don’t know what our future looks like…”
“But I promise…”
“I’ll protect you.”
A soft breeze brushed against my face.
Almost like an answer.
I smiled through my tears.
Then—
Snap.
A branch broke somewhere behind me.
I froze.
The forest became unnaturally quiet.
No insects.
No birds.
Nothing.
Slowly, I turned my head.
Darkness.
Nothing else.
Maybe it was an animal.
I forced myself to keep walking.
Another sound followed.
Closer this time.
Crunch.
Crunch.
Crunch.
Someone was matching my footsteps.
Every instinct screamed at me to run.
I quickened my pace.
The footsteps quickened too.
My heartbeat thundered in my ears.
“Who’s there?” I called.
No answer.
Only silence.
Then…
A voice drifted from the shadows.
“She couldn’t have gone far.”
Another answered.
“The doctor was right.”
“The Alpha’s child must not be born.”
My blood turned to ice.
They knew.
Helena had been telling the truth.
This wasn’t robbery.
This wasn’t coincidence.
They were hunting my baby.
Before I could move, four cloaked figures stepped out from between the trees, surrounding me from every direction.
One of them slowly drew a silver blade that gleamed beneath the Blood Moon.
“There she is.”
He smiled.
“Kill the Luna.”

The Luna My Alpha Regrets Losing Silverfang’s Secret
I couldn't let Cassian's words pass without pressing further."Which families?" I asked immediately.He admitted the surviving Valerius records didn't name all of them directly. Some names had been deliberately removed, others encoded in ways his family had never fully deciphered.Before he could explain further, Lucien interrupted with something that shifted the entire conversation.He'd ordered his own historians to search Silverfang's oldest archives the moment he'd heard Cassian's revelation, and they had found something unusual. A document predating the current Silverfang royal line referenced the First Oath directly.I was stunned. Silverfang had always been presented to me as simply a kingdom that had eventually protected the surviving royal bloodline, mine, once I'd finally returned to it. The records suggested something far deeper.Silverfang might have been part of the original group entrusted with protecting the oath itself.Lucien explained the disturbing implication plain
The Luna My Alpha Regrets Losing House Valerius
The stranger had vanished from a locked room with guards stationed outside it. No broken lock. No hidden passage. Simply gone, leaving nothing behind but the ancient symbol carved into the wall.I understood, sitting there with Kyle and Lyra settled against me, that this hadn't been a failed intrusion at all. Someone had wanted us to know they could reach into this palace whenever they chose.Lucien returned before I could dwell on it much further, his expression telling me the situation had grown more complicated than any of us had first assumed. The guards had found nothing. No sign of forced escape anywhere.Rowan studied the symbol carefully afterward, comparing it against the marking from the ancient chamber, the object found near the restricted corridor, and the seal on the stranger's message. Similar, but not identical. He believed the differences might matter more than any of us wanted them to. This might not be a single organization using a single mark.It could represent dif
The Luna My Alpha Regrets Losing Two Different Heirs
"Princess Aurelia. You need to open this door."I didn't move to answer it. I pulled Kyle and Lyra closer instead and called for the guards, my voice steadier than I felt.They responded immediately, demanding the stranger identify themselves. The voice claimed to carry information concerning the twins, but offered no name, no authorization the guards recognized. I understood, listening through the door, that something here was deeply wrong.Before anyone could force it open, Lucien arrived and ordered everyone to hold their position. The stranger was detained rather than allowed anywhere near me.He came to me first once he'd confirmed it, checking that the twins and I remained safe before anything else. I told him about the voice, and the pendant. He examined everything carefully. The stranger, once searched, carried no visible weapon, only a small sealed message marked with an unfamiliar variation of the ancient symbol, similar to the object Rowan had found earlier that night.Luci
The Luna My Alpha Regrets Losing The First Threat
I stayed frozen beside Kyle and Lyra long after the pendant had warmed. I reached for it carefully, and found it warm against my fingers, then, just as suddenly, cold again. The low sound from somewhere beneath the palace had already faded into silence. I listened for a long moment. Nothing followed it.The twins had gone quiet too, though not asleep. Both of them still stared toward the same empty corner of the room, and for a moment I wondered whether exhaustion had simply begun playing tricks on my own mind.I checked everything anyway. The door remained locked. The windows secured. Guards stood exactly where they should, and nothing in the room appeared disturbed at all. I checked the twins carefully, and they seemed perfectly healthy, the physician's earlier reassurance echoing faintly in my memory. Still, something had changed, even if I couldn't name it.I decided not to raise the alarm immediately. I didn't want the entire palace thrown into panic over something I couldn't yet
The Luna My Alpha Regrets Losing The First Night
I had spent months fearing the day Kael would discover what he'd lost. I never imagined that the night my children were born would also be the night something far older than either of us began quietly stirring beneath the palace.I hadn't slept at all. I sat beside Kyle and Lyra instead, watching them, learning the small differences between them the way I imagined every new mother did. Kyle slept quietly, barely stirring. Lyra moved more, small restless motions even in sleep, as though she resented lying still. I studied their faces and thought about how close I had come to never meeting either of them, how the woman who had left Blackwood carrying this secret alone could never have imagined this exact room, this exact quiet.I wasn't that woman anymore. I felt happiness, and exhaustion, and underneath both of those, something closer to anger. Even now, after everything I had survived to reach this room, danger was still reaching for my children before they'd had a single full day in
The Luna My Alpha Regrets Losing The First Morning
I woke slowly, hours after everything that had happened, my body still heavy with exhaustion. For a moment I didn't remember where I was or what had passed. Then I heard one of the babies. A second cry followed close behind it, and the memory of the night before settled over me completely.Both of them were here.The physician checked me first and confirmed I was recovering normally, then examined the twins and confirmed both remained healthy and stable. I asked about them before I asked about anything else, before the palace, before the court, before any of it.Once the attendants brought them closer, I finally had the chance to study them properly, without the urgency of labor pulling at every thought. They already seemed different from each other in small ways. One settled quickly, calm against my arm. The other stirred more, restless even in sleep. I didn't attach any deeper meaning to it. I simply found myself wondering, quietly, what kind of people they would grow into.I imagin
